When you start your cake journey, it’s just exciting to make a tasty cake and creamy buttercream from scratch. But soon, it becomes just as important to nail those sharp edges on your homemade cake. While it’s totes possible to do this with just a scraper and some patience, acrylic cake discs make the process quicker and easier!
For this 3 layer 6 inch cake, I'm using a 6.25 inch acrylic cake disc. This gives me the right amount of buttercream on the sides of my cake, but if you like THICK layers of frosting, you could always go up to the 6.5 inch disc.
